      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sheff Weds reporter for the Sheffield Star says that many of the players and non-playing staff have not been paid on time. Some staff were paid £700 for May but they say a majority weren&#039;t paid at all for May and had notice at the weekend that their June pay would likely not happen. Of the players which haven&#039;t been paid for 2 months in a row (if they get nothing today), they can effectively hand their notice in and in 15 days will be free to sign elsewhere.  <br />

Awful to watch this happen to...<br />

<br />
Over 50 York fans have been given a banning order, allegedly not by the club but my the stadium owner, York SMC. It&#039;s on the back of the fans celebrating a 96th minute winner recently, with the advertising boards being knocked down by celebrating fans. The club had to put out a statement to say they disagree with...<br />

<br />
I work for a film production company and we’ve just made a scripted comedy pilot called Life In Non League, set around a fictional non-league football club and the volunteers, committee members and regular matchday characters who keep it running.<br />
<br />
It’s shot in a mockumentary style and is very much based on real experiences at that level — budget arguments, club politics, stewards taking things too seriously, people doing five different jobs on a Saturday, all the...<br />

Hi everyone,<br />
<br />
I hope it’s okay to share this here.<br />

I’m posting about Carol, a genuinely lovely woman connected to the Bristol City community. She’s been a voluntary steward at the club – one of those people who just gives her time to help others without ever asking for anything in return.<br />
<br />
I only know Carol and her family through my dad and my 90-year-old granny, but they’ve always spoken so warmly about her. She even once turned up at Ashton...<br />
